They look great ! Any idea when you will release your instructional videos ? I am really looking for creating the textures... And Shrinkwrap shoes to other shoes as I still don't figure out how to use a 3d model from a shoe to another...

It took me 2.5 hours just to get these last shoes to show up, that doesn't include the time it took to make the texture and model. I will not be releasing an instructional video any time soon. I barely know how to get these shoes in game myself. I thought I had the process down but I'ts so many small details that I just can't make a tutorial because I would get so many questions and may not be able to answer them.

If you want to create texture changes only then go to the tutorial section and check out the shoe resource thread. I put together some info to help you figure out how the shoe files are structured.viewtopic.php?f=226&t=103285

I have not used shrinkwrap. If I knew how to properly use shrinkwrap, I would have released so many player models by now.

Yeah i got the files but what i can't do is having a new texture. I mean how do you create your texture from your picture ?

I load the shoe model in blender and also open all the reference photos in blender and proceed to spend about 2 hours trying to get the texture copied over to 2K's UV layout using blender's texture paint clone options.Even after making the main texture you have to make another texture for the opposite shoe ( just flip logos and any words that appear on the shoe). Then I create the normal map and physics textures.

See the video time lapse below. All the footage in the video took about 2 hours but the video does not include the complete process start to finish.

It's safe to say I will not drop a tutorial for shoes.After spending literally 23 hours creating a shoe, texture, and trying to remember how to put it in the game... let's just say I have a bit modding fatigue.

Aw shucks...probably means no ZO2 for Lonzo Ball and no more draft faces huh? Either way thanks for all of your work in the community. I'll continue to be subbed to your channel in hopes I can see some awesome mods/content down the road!

2K generic shoes for Lonzo sounds brilliant. Take that, LaVar.Nice job on those shoes, TS. I've always said we needed the shoes game for the 2k17 modding community

I can only imagine how you feel. I didn't even thought about 3D editing a shoe, and I burned out a lot of times. The only thing I can say right now, even if I know it doesn't really help you, is thank you. You did a great job this year. Take a break and if you feel the itch again, come back whenever you want.
